Also if i send btc to an address that has not been created yet. Where does that go? Does it bounce back or does some future person land some free btc?

Sending btc to an invalid address is not possible because of the checksum.
Your wallet validates the checksum of you entered address. So it won't be processed.
It is also highly unlikely to accidentally enter a valid btc address.

This is true, but I feel like it's not quite what OP was asking. If he sends BTC to a valid address which "hasn't been created yet" (assuming we understand that addresses aren't "created", but he means an address whose private key isn't known), the funds will simply be inaccessible to anyone. It will neither "bounce back", nor will some future person land free BTC, unless that future person figures out how to break ECDSA.

Who the hell are these guys to have such amount of money, do you know what I million bitcoin would be. These are the guys that are definitely manipulating the market, and moving the coin from Coinbase, I dont know what their agenda is? Moving it out to another wallet could mean they are moving it out to actually sell, and if they do, that may be a major big dump for bitcoin price

This is exactly the type of mindless panic I was talking about in my previous post. Despite several posts in this thread clearly explaining how the vast majority of these "whale alerts" are actually just exchanges or other big services moving funds between cold wallets or something similar, users like this one just see a big transaction and immediately forego all logic and jump straight to "the whales are going to sell their coins and the price will dump!".
